WHen I get some free time I'll try to look into your Horan's and see if there is a connection. Mine were Patrick Horan, the father. Married Catherine Rooney. St. Joes New has a website that you can search. My McNulty's were married into the Horans in Cincinnati. My Bryan McNulty was also called a hobo hopping the trains. - my cousin found him on ancestry, in the California Votor registration list (or something like that) its in with the catagory of Census Records - he was there listed as working for the railroads they built out west. - the form had his name, DOB, where born, and that he was Naturalized in Cincinnati/date/year. So check that out for your Horan. There are a few free websites for Cincy info, google them - University of Cincinnati has birth/death records for free and another webiste, a government one, has marraige, naturalization, etc. - it might be Hamilton County probate or something. let me know if you turn up anything on the hobo story.
